Hello,

I am just curious trying to understand how pkgsrc release works. For 
example, is this readline patch applied to pkgsrc-current only or will 
it by applied also to pkgsrc-2025Q3 branch and a new binary package will 
be released in the repositories? I am curious about that. For example, 
if the patch is not applied to 2025Q3 many people desiring to install 
Octave package will be in trouble for a couple of months until 2025Q4 
arrives.

Thanks so much.

Regards.
Ramiro.
